A whole universe of fail…
Sorry, sorry. I got distracted tonight watching someone else play the latest woke flop video game. One reviewer described it as “Indian girl saves the world from white people.”
Very buggy, glitchy program with generic gameplay. Despite its woke premise, if they’d polished it more and paid better attention to the mechanics, it might have made its money back at least. As it is, there are 90 people playing it right now according to steamcharts, down from an all-time high of fewer than 300. A total wipeout.
Okay, here’s the funny part: the developers thought that this was such an amazing story, it was going to open up a whole universe of media. As Brave AI put it: “The game’s narrative is part of a larger Storyworld, intertwining with other Unknown 9 products, including video games, podcasts, comic books, novels, and more.”
I honestly don’t know how so many people in high positions in entertainment can be so utterly delusional. Don’t they know any normal people?
I’ve been watching the playthrough on this random channel, mostly because his voice cracks me up. I’ve just realized who he sounds like: the guy who did Freeman’s Mind, a very funny playthrough of Half Life 2. Recommended.
Channels where you interact with someone who’s playing a game have been described as friend simulators. I thought what a sad state of affairs that is for young men. And then I realized heeyyyyy *I* don’t have any friends to play video games with.

Testing, testing
Don’t mind me. I think the blog is broken.
